Nursery Practitioner

We are seeking a passionate and experienced Practitioner to join our lovely team here at Shenfield Day Nursery. Our homely, long -established nursery is based in a converted detached home in the heart of Shenfield in Brentwood. It is an exciting time for our setting with a new website just launched and the recent refurbishment of our facilities just completed. We are very proud of our strong parent partnerships which are a key aspect of our ethos; along with offering optimum nutrition; a rich extra curricular programme and outings into the local community.

We believe that what young children need more than anything is to be cherished and allowed to live a rich childhood. Our passion is that each child should grow up knowing how special they are, having super confidence and self-esteem. As children go through our nursery, we want them to grow roots and wings- roots to know who they are and the special place they have in the world, and wings to exercise what they’ve learnt in their ongoing journey of life.

Our nurseries are special, offering high quality childcare and aim to be an extension to each of our little one’s own family. Our learning environment and our hand-picked staff team aim to support creativity and imagination as well as fostering warm friendships with other children and adults to support each little one to thrive and flourish.

Our teams are led by an incredibly inspiring Nursery Manager and Deputies and as a company, we are committed to the ongoing professional development of each staff member. We are looking for a practitioner to work across 4 days of the week. (7.25 am to 6.10 pm with a 45 minute lunch break).

We offer a comprehensive staff wellbeing and benefits package including ;-

A generous childcare discount (subject to availability);
